M. Butterfly
Custom Made Theater Company in San Francisco presents David Henry Hwang's classic, M. Butterfly.
Where
Custom Made presents a dynamic new staging of Hwang’s modern classic. A French diplomat carried on a twenty-year affair with a Chinese actor and opera singer, not realizing that his partner was a man masquerading as a woman. From these basic facts comes a sensational drama that wonders how such a fantasy can take hold. Interwoven with the Puccini opera, M. Butterfly is a timeless, and highly theatrical, story of love and betrayal.
